I want to reach out to all the new people on Twitter and those who follow only a few people. This is a post for you.
Twitter is a tremendous resource of information, that is amazing and interesting. Personally, Twitter has changed mine and other peoples worlds. I’ve found amazing programs and information that has helped me and my business’. Since the information comes to me, I can pick and choose my interests or search for them. Unfortunately, many people leave Twitter in the first 30 days, because many of people dont “get” Twitter.
“David Martin, vice president of primary research for research analyst firm Nielsen Online, wrote in a blog that Twitter has a retention rate of around 40 percent, which means that more than 60 percent of Twitter users stop using the service a month after joining in.”
I like many joined, left and came back. Heres the thing, to really enjoy Twitter and its vast resources: YOU NEED TO FOLLOW AT LEAST 2000 PEOPLE. Now I know that sounds like a lot of work, but with my training resources (see below) you can be following 2000 people in 48 hours, taking only 15 minutes of your day. Like any great tool you need an owners guide to help you, otherwise your just clawing in the dark wondering why you dont understand Twitter.
The challenge with only following a small smattering of people is you miss out on most of the great resources. Big fish that chat alot like me, seem to take up alot of your small stream, even though it is some of the best you can find on Twitter. I lose alot of small accounts because I become the 800 lb gorilla on their stream. If they would more people, they would enjoy twitter more and not notice my chat as much even though its filled with great stuff to help you enjoy Twitter.
The other way to enjoy Twitter is to go out and make friends search out people with similar resources to your own and add them as followers.
The bottom line is its tough to really enjoy Twitter unless you get a few thousand followers. I want to offer my resources to you so please feel free to email me with questions you have and I will try to help you along. you can also Tweet me a question in my stream and I’ll try to answer it.

Be sure to check out my training resources below – Twitter is super popular and will continue to be trendy, dont be “that person” who doesnt get it. Enjoy it now.

I’m one of those Twitter users who left after a couple of months. What was the point? Everyone kept coming to me about Twitter. I’d groan roll my eyes and make some sarcastic comment. I spent over 5 hours figuring out this so called golden web-site. Still struggling along my numbers began to grow. Then Chris Voss came along. I could go on and on about how much he has helped me. He is right; once you hit 2,000 the better Twitter is.

Great Post,Very Informative. Thanks

It helps if you have a purpose for logging into Twitter so you don’t get bored. I left and came back too and figured it out without the books although thinking back reading a couple would have helped.
N(0.o)bs need to find something they really like or think is unusually different and TELL THE PERSON. Send a @username to them. Telling the truth about something you think is really neat is never hard to do. I don’t use robots and un-follow all tweeter-repeaters too. Here’s something to tweet about http://www.ted.com and http://www.kk.org Kevin Kelly reviews the review sites! Now that’s pretty cool.
Some of my friends have killed their Twitter accounts because they thought it was boring. I have been using Twitter for quite some time now and I’m really loving it. I don’t like too many followers, but if you follow the right people, Twittering can be fun and beneficial.

I see more and more people in my enviroment signing up for Twitter. Even my GF got to it 0_o’ I disagree with you that Twitter is hard 🙂

I think you forgot to mention something – Twitter’s probably the best source of information on the web.

Maybe what Mr. Voss says is true if your purpose is business. For me, two to three hundred is sufficient. Also, maybe the “small” accounts he lost left him not because he filled up their stream, but because he posted a lot of stuff that didn’t interest them. I just went to his profile page (not easy to find a link on this blog, by the way), and I probably wouldn’t follow him after examining it.
Yes, search for your interests like #travel or #art and add interesting people tweeting on your favorite topics.
Well finding people you can connect with is a forward looking game. Who
cares whats behind you. Having more followers good or bad helps show you as
interesting to attract more interesting people.
Chris– I started small, too, and just followed people I thought I'd be interested in. Then one day, I decided to follow some guru-types even though I'd been avoiding them. It was a revelation. They were friendly and helpful and opened a whole new world to me, and I suddenly got interested in social media. You just never know what great new experiences are going to open up to you when you follow outside your usual type. I have really enjoyed it, thanks to you and people like you.
Thanks for the compliment

Your offer is very commendable.I started a month ago and fortunately have had a degree of success.I'm also staying.
I feel it is important that Newbies in Any field,find themselves a Mentor asap.
I certainly did not move forward until I found one in my own Niche.
Again your offer of assistance is to be applauded.

It is interesting to see the wide variety of opinions regarding twitter. I love twitter & have found it easy, fun & useful. I only have 500 followers at the moment. This is because I am choosing to grow my feed with like-minded people who either have similar interests & views, can provide me with inspiration or useful information, are potential clients or jv partners, or who are actual business associates or clients.
When people follow me, I check out their tweets. If they are not a good fit I don’t friend them back. For me this is people who tweet in a language other than English, don’t tweet at all, cuss a lot, are pessimistic, have the same tweet over & over, who are only using twitter to be pushy salespeople & not help others, spammers, etc. I also unfriend people who I feel are no longer a good fit after I’ve experienced quite a few of their tweets.
Twitter is a place for me to be interactive, learn new things, express myself, be inspired, help grow my business, make new friends, and more. I’m thrilled with the results I’m already getting with 500 people. I will eventually have 1000’s, but at a pace that suits me.
I love RTing great tweets & enjoy helping others promote their businesses if I know they offer quality products & services. I’m also trying to grow my personal blog followers to help make a difference in the world. Join me in doing that!
“Heres the thing, to really enjoy Twitter and its vast resources: YOU NEED TO FOLLOW AT LEAST 2000 PEOPLE.” disagree disagree disagree! thats an insane way to put it.
Chris,
Please check out our post – Twitter is Self Cleansing http://www.blackballonline.com/wordpress/twitter/twitter-cleansing/. I think you’ll find it falls right in line with this one.

I always considered Twitter an unreliable source of marketing but have recently joined the ranks of those twittering. I agree with you here it is a remarkable resource and if used strategically can really help get your word out there! Thanks!
